Ric Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Well, that's different, for sure. I've not seen a paperweight like it before. I wonder if there is any significance to the "arrowhead" backdrop that the cross is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first reaction was "Far Out"--I know, a little dated--but that is what I thought. Janis Joplin would have loved it---I sure do.

Cool piece. How everything is attached together could lend some clues. Curious about wear on bottom of wood too. Could have been a paperweight added to the wood after the fact.
